Business Financial Centre

I’m Cameron MacAulay. I work with our members to provide a tailored approach to their businesses financing requirements now, and in the future. I’ve spent the bulk of my career with Scotiabank in Commercial Banking and now bring that experience to ACU. I’m honest and hardworking and always put my best foot forward when working with not only our members, but internal partners to ensure the best member experience possible. When not at work, my two kids keep me busy and are the centre of my world. I’m an avid Winnipeg Jets fan and play recreational hockey and golf in my spare time.

I’m Dan Carevic. As Associate Director of the Business Financial Centre, I lead a team of experienced commercial banking professionals focused on providing excellent advice and service to small and medium-sized businesses.

With over 17 years of commercial banking experience, I have a real passion for leading my team as we work closely with business owners to help them grow and prosper in our community. As a locally-owned co-operative with local decision-makers, we at ACU leverage our experience and knowledge of the Manitoba market to deliver sound advice and tailored solutions. ACU focuses on investing skills and resources to create a positive social impact in our communities, and that makes ACU a fantastic fit for me as a professional. Outside work, I like to keep active through exercise, golf, cycling and skating; pretty much anything that will help me keep up with our two young and very energetic sons.

I’m Aleksandr Krukov. As a Business Account Manager, I look after commercial lending requests, mortgages, loans or lines of credit. I’ve been with ACU since 2004. The knowledge and expertise that I have gained working in retail banking allows me to provide outstanding member service. I believe in integrity, being honest, fair, and respectful. I apply this in my work every day, which closely ties in with the ACU vision values. I am married with two beautiful young kids. We like to travel, even though it maybe be challenging with young children. My hobby is the seemingly never-ending supply of house renovations.

I am inspired by entrepreneurship. The decision to strike out on your own with an idea is a tough one. Sticking with it, employing other people and making it work is exceptional and inspiring. Let’s talk about what I can do to help.

I’m Lefteri Antonakis. I work with small and medium businesses to arrange financing for real estate, leasehold improvements, equipment, and accounts receivables. I also connect business members to ACU partners such as the retail branches for personal banking advice, Assiniboine Financial Group for investment advice, and Winnipeg Insurance Brokers. I was raised by small business owners and I know firsthand how hard they work and what it takes to operate a successful business. I’ve worked in the financial services industry since 2006 as a personal banking account manager, and as a business account manager. I value teamwork and community building which are align perfectly with ACU. I’m a dedicated father and family man, an avid sports fan, and enjoy playing golf and basketball.

I’m Michelle Hardy. As a Business Account Manager I provide financial services for our business members including financing needs such as commercial mortgages, loans, operating lines of credit, Canada Small Business Financing Loans, accounts and investments. I started in financial services in 2000. My first 10 years were retail sales focused, with the last 10 years in commercial financing. For me, two things are very crucial; the environment and supporting diversity. The serious commitment ACU has made to the environment is extremely important to me, and one I fully support. Outside of work, I’m a busy mom with three older kids. I’m constantly busy going to after school sports and activities. When we can find the time, we love to enjoy the outdoors by going hiking and camping.
